Pedestrian Bridge Struck By Truck To Be Removed
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A pedestrian bridge that was struck by a semi truck earlier this week will be removed.
According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation, the bridge that spans 55-feet over Highway 14 will be dismantled by crews using a heavy-duty crane Tuesday afternoon.
MnDOT submitted an emergency request to perform the work because of the risk that the 75,000-pound bridge could collapse.
Traffic is being detoured along Highway 14 at St. Mary's University while crews work on the expanse.
